About

Hi! In October 2010, I moved from San Francisco to Manhattan with my husband, daughter, and twin boys. Since then I've been busy teaching myself and my kids how to hail a cab, fly a kite in Central Park, and walk across the Brooklyn Bridge with style. And a few other things. I write about those other things here. Thanks for stopping by!

If you don't have a profile, please write your email in your comment so I can contact you :)

Winner will be drawn at random next Monday, June 4th.

Good luck!

More pictures after the jump, including our favorite climbing tree and the only melt down of the shoot. Can you guess who it was? It was short lived thank goodness! Read more about my experience too. :)

While these picture might not scream NEW YORK CITY in the Statue of Liberty/Times Square/Empire State Building kind of way, these pictures do scream our daily life.

Our tree, our sidewalk, our fields.

Enjoy!

love oscar's face in the background :)

The meltdown! The cause: Oscar was trying to do a forward roll, but my bag was in the way. It's the littlest things! He was happy after a quick back rub.

Still thinking about that forward roll gone bad. . .

Love ella's face and the biker in the background. This captures our daily life almost exactly.

Forward roll forgotten! Happy as a clam.

Another one of my favorites.

Oscar and Ella are really good friends. This picture captures it. Oscar looks up to Ella so much!

i think these photos are so much fun! how great for someone to be able to capture those expressions from sweet mom and son to rambunctious boys and a silly/serious little girl. love! oh and i'm pretty sure we could swing NYC :)

i have said it before and i will say it again, your kids a stunning. so beautiful. i would love to win. maybe we can come to NY and visit you if we win. ps. we are moving to DC next weekend, be expecting to hear from us soon. we want to come visit you guys.

I love these. We're expecting our third so seeing pictures of your little trio give me hope that I can pull this off :) We'd be able to make a San Francisco trip ... would be a great way to announce to our families that a "bonus" kiddo is on the way!

eeps! What a fabulous giveaway! Makes it easy living in Phoenix but it would be beyond fabulous to meet Keith in Paris (le sigh) as well (a girl can wish!) And I'm wishing to win this and thanks to you and Keith for the giveaway!Donna

Fingers crossed for this one! How fabulous?! Those pictures are amazing - I especially love the one of the meltdown, such a tender mother, son moment. We're in NYC, so September would be fantastic! Thanks for this!

these pictures are amazing, your kids are so cute and trendy! We would love to have these kinds of photos of our little family as a keepsake. We had studio ones done a couple of years back but now that the little man has tons of energy, it would be great to capture his playfullness :) geri.stewartATbtopenworldDOTcom

Woooooooooowsa - divine - but you know what - your kids are so beyond gorgeous - each in their own way! Wish he as coming to Sydney - will host if he wants - and all of you too!!!!!! But hey - maybe we'll just come on back over and get some pics plus all the other US stuff i love!!!!!!!!

Ah, following another Summer! Sharon, these are beautiful! You seriously have the most gorgeous family!!! Confession: I thought it would be Owen with the meltdown. ;) He always looks up to something, and I love that!

I actually looked at his upcoming travel dates after your post yesterday. I live in Washington DC with my husband and our son, Jonah, who just turned one. We can definitely get to NYC in September! Randomness gods, please pick us! sarahhigdon@hotmail.com

I don't have to tell you why I'd love to win. But I will anyway :) I'd love some portraits of me with my children. I'm always behind the camera, so it would be lovely to have someone else capture our life (with me in it) in an more candid, natural way. Love these.

Yes yes yes, me me me, please please please! We're in Socal, so we can def to some of those locations, even fly up to Norcal for a family trip! We have yet to photography our family professionally, and this would be such a dream! (writejoanne@gmail.com)

Oh wow! Keith's work really captures that sweet spot between candid and posed. Both my husband and I are photographers and so have NO photos of us with our new baby daughter. We would love to work with Keith in NYC.

Oh my goodness! These pictures are perfection. I have been looking for a photographer to do some family portraits for us that don't have a hint of cheesiness. He really knows how to capture the moment. This is our man! And we live in NYC so wouldn't have far to go. I have never won anything so here's to hoping that there's a first time for everything.

My fav is the one inside your apt with all three in costume on the chair. Funny 'cause I'm such an outdoor photography lover. They are All Terrific! I'm so happy for you! I love following your family in NYC. You're like Martha Stewart Magazine. After I read through all that (perfection) I don't feel worse, I feel inspired and content! Anyways - these pics are great. Keith makes it look easy (but really it's freakin HARD) and he has such elegance! I love the wide angles!~~hugs! Vale vale@cervarich dot com

I started following your blog because we lived in NYC for a while and we were always looking for fun things to do with our family. Now we're back in Europe and although we love it here, we miss New York so much :( I hope we win this giveaway, because I really like the idea of meeting this talented photographer, who was able to capture your gorgeous family so beautifully.

Thank you for hosting this awesome giveaway! My husband and I are expecting our first baby in late June and a photo session would be right up our alley of our new family of 3 (4 if you count our cat Emma) :)

Wow! What a fabulous giveaway! I love Mr. Pitts photographic style. I love the idea of capturing everyday life in a beautiful way instead of propped and primmed. Life is beautiful and doesn't need staging.

Wow what incredible photos of your children! I would love to win a giveaway like this - such a talented photographer!! My husband and I fell in love in New York City, and would love to travel back to take some romatic pictures of us roaming around the city together. Plus, I'll be 8.5 months pregnant with our first then! fingers crossed! :)

These are great, beautiful children! We live in NYC and would do our local park also. September would produce lovely pictures outside, and just in time for our girl's first birthday. twolittlefeathers@yahoo.com

We have never had professional photos done as a family! It would be amazing to have such beautiful ones as you show here. That would be a super exciting excuse to return home to the city in the fall. Gotta love fall in NYC..Thanks for a shot at the giveaway! moirahaupt@gmail.com
